Cranberry and pear are two incredible flavors that suit any time of the year. The luscious, tart flavor of this infused balsamic is made all the more impressive by its ruby red color.
One of our favorite uses for this balsamic is as a spiked seltzer or mocktail. Combine 1.5 oz balsamic with 6 oz seltzer or tonic water and 1 to 2 oz cranberry juice. Add 1 to 2 oz vodka or to make it a spiked cocktail. Serve over ice.
Olive oil pairing suggestions: Herbes de Provence, blood orange fusion, Persian lime, Meyer lemon fusion, any non-infused Sigona’s Fresh Press extra virgin olive oil.
Holiday time calls for a signature drink, don’t you think?
Spiked seltzer is all the rage, so we came up with our own featuring our
Cranberry Pear Balsamic. Cranberries and pears are festive foods for the
holidays, so we thought it would make the perfect drink. You’ll love the pretty
red color! For more cocktails featuring balsamics, check out our gift pack
called The Bartender. Serves 1.
Bartlett Pear and Dried Cranberry Salad with Moo-Na Lisa Cheese and a Honey-Rosemary Vinaigrette
The flavors in this salad screams fall. You’ll love the honey-rosemary vinaigrette made with Sigona’s Cranberry Pear Balsamic, and the Gouda-Gruyère style Moo-na Lisa cheese brings all the flavors together beautifully. Serves 4 to 6.
Sometimes all your turkey, sandwich, toast or cheeseboard needs is a good chutney. This is a simple, delicious chutney that takes little time to create. The combination of flavors is savory-sweet, and can be enhanced by a pinch of ground cinnamon or ginger, if desired. Adapted from The Olive Oil & Vinegar Lover’s Cookbook. Makes about 1 1/2 cups, depending on mango size.
Grilled Pear & Blue Cheese Crostini with Bacon and Sigona’s Cranberry-Pear Vinaigrette
Cranberry and pear are two great flavors of fall, and both pair beautifully with blue cheese. We’ve adapted this recipe from Food & Travel Magazine to give you a unique way to enjoy some of our favorites of the season. Enjoy with a chilled Rosé or Riesling. Serves 4.
Mixed Greens Salad with Asian Pears, Glazed Walnuts and a Cranberry-Pear Vinaigrette
The Cranberry-Pear Vinaigrette in this dish makes a great dressing for this salad. Asian pears are refreshing and crisp and hold up well when tossed with the other ingredients. Plus, they’re a little more exotic than apples or regular pears. Serves 4 to 6.
